re: X32 Discussion
Ah! After re-reading your message later I thought as much. Such is electronic communications - had we even just been on the phone your intent would probably have been obvious. And yes, costs are pretty nominal. Indeed, UPS costs have come down so much I'm slowly picking up one every other month or so in order to get even all of our amplifiers protected. And a nice side benefit, remote control of the power outlets! Our amps are in another room upstairs and if the X32 does pop on reboot being able to power them down remotely is going to be a real boon. And even though they will add some serious weight to portable gear, I can't think of a situation that would justify such power conditioning for all gear more than the uncertainty in what you will find at a remote location.
Even if we can't convince everyone to cover all their gear, at a minimum I do agree that you want to protect the console! Just budget it into the initial acquisition cost - you'll be glad you did!
